If it's anything like ours it's loose dogs, hungry bears and sloppy drunks.

Did my part this weekend in getting the trapping message out:

Nice job Matt!

Way to go there Alaskan. We need lots more of that to promote our industry at the grass roots level.

Matt, you da man, man.

Nice PETA shirt!

Man...they sure loved the "People Eating Tasty Animals" shirts up this way. Kind of didn't know what to make of the ATA shirts, but a few knew why I had them and what it is and bought some.

I was just doing my part. The ATA donated the profits from these items to be put back into the community for trapping related programs/clinics. All I had to do was sell the stuff...and I was a born used cars salesman (including future comb over).

Wow! - I just discovered this place. I like it here! Any rules I should know about.

There are lots of rules. I can't remember them all but they are listed somewhere. We are a bit more "loose" on our side (as opposed to the Trap Talk board), however there is a line that a person can't cross. It pays to have a thick skin and a good sense of humor (and it doesn't hurt to have a drinking...ability).

It is a nice family we have here. We piiss and moan, and whine and complain, sometimes pick on the ugly guy (that's Hupurest...you'll see), and sometimes disagree.... but one big group of good people, and a LOT of useful knowledge!!

Well Alaskan, sounds good, i just so happen to have a drink in hand...

Good man. I hope its none of that cheap crap that Spotter drinks...

FYI, you'll tell when I've hit the second martini on certain nights...

Welcome to the clan. When we're in Kodiak, first round is on me.

Slow day in Kodiak, watched the first offload of the season for the 2012 ADF&G Commercial Sea Lion fishery...I think the cannerys are paying 49 cents a pound this year

Weird...when I was down in Sitka a week ago, I saw this same method for taking a woman home at night from the bars. Even more weird, I think she is the sister of the one in your picture

Holy crap! Seen them rip through gill nets, but never get caught!

Shorter version of Alaskan's rendition. We sometimes stretch the rules a bit but we know where the breaking point is.

Welcome to the board. Great bunch of guys and gals here.

Y'all do well on this forum. Y'all have a bit more leeway, but it's not a lot more -lol...

It might be cheap, but it's crap. Welcome 30otter06!

Thanks spotter id ont mind the cheap stuff myself, i like the homebrew better

Makes your typing better... right.

Can't speak for Spotter's typing, but it helps his speech. For that matter, it also helps mine!
